About

Hi, I’m Derrick Okoro—an independent music producer and audio engineer with a first-class BSc in Music Technology and an MA in Record Production. I love turning artists’ ideas into polished, release-ready recordings through careful session preparation, precise editing, and professional mixing and mastering.

I work confidently across studio workflows and industry-standard DAWs including Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Ableton Live, and Cubase. I also bring strong organisation and communication skills from customer-facing and operational roles, which helps me manage recording sessions smoothly, collaborate effectively with independent artists, and deliver high-quality audio on time.
